Comments on: What is the centripetal acceleration of an automobile driving at 80.0 km/h on a circular track of radiu? http://www.cargearusa.com/blog/what-is-the-centripetal-acceleration-of-an-automobile-driving-at-800-kmh-on-a-circular-track-of-radiu/ Mon, 21 May 2012 18:29:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Venkat http://www.cargearusa.com/blog/what-is-the-centripetal-acceleration-of-an-automobile-driving-at-800-kmh-on-a-circular-track-of-radiu/comment-page-1/#comment-9160 Venkat Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:25:50 +0000 http://www.cargearusa.com/blog/what-is-the-centripetal-acceleration-of-an-automobile-driving-at-800-kmh-on-a-circular-track-of-radiu/#comment-9160 a = v2 / r So in your case, it is: 80.0 km/h = 80000/3600 = 22.22m/s So a = 22.23m/s * 22.23m/s / 25m Centripetal Acceleration a = 19.76m/s2 (19.76 meters per second squared)<a href="http://www.greattoolsusa.com/gantry-4400"> Venkat</a> a = v2 / r

So in your case, it is:

80.0 km/h = 80000/3600 = 22.22m/s

So a = 22.23m/s * 22.23m/s / 25m
Centripetal Acceleration a = 19.76m/s2 (19.76 meters per second squared) Venkat
